    Ooh Ooh. Yasushi, I didn't look hard enough. You meant....::drumroll:: the RAINBOW DRIVE. :D This video has some great shots in it of all the colors (except for the difference between the basic and pearl white [moonglow] colors). I mean, great! Fantastic find!

    Thank you for posting this! I had been dying to see the car in the Black Sand Pearl, as there have been no pictures of that color at all. It's nice but wow, I must say, this car in red is super duper cute!!! Hmmm ^_^

    out of all the colors i think that the black, dark grey or white with tint look the best... but maybe that's imho

    Yep. My brother-in-law, when I sent him a picture, said: "Cute little thing!"

    It sure is, although I don't love the blue colors. However, the pure white is really cute too!

    I can't wait to see the red, black, and white C's side by side ;)

    I think it's a very nice blue. It's for a younger eye, I feel, though. It's approaching the famous Subaru blue and is brighter than, say, a navy like the Prius Blue Ribbon Metallic. I think they did a good job and it's just bright enough to get noticed without being an eyesore some might say (me, I adore obnoxious bright blue cars!).

    I put my deposit down for a Blue Streak Metallic.

    This review gives some nice close-ups of the Blue.

    I like it too but my wife's '07 Fit is a nearly identical color so we'd look a little strange driving around in nearly identically colored cars. Besides - the darker colors tend to get the car a little too hot here.

    Summer Rain ;)for me (unless they can bring in a Yellow - Kiiroi ichiban desu!!:))

    YMMV.

    White does the best job at staying cool under that intense Tropical sunshine! Shiro.

    Haha. I'm so proud of everybody using their Japanese language vocabulary for colors. Maybe we should rename the thread title. ;) Ame-no natsu (summer rain)! Or maybe it's just natsu ame. Prius colors weren't taught to me as an exchange student.

    I agree that blue looks very similar to the Honda Fit blue out there on the older models.

    I still would like to see a close up of the difference between the white and moonroof white.

    I believe it's called "Moonglow White" and my understanding is the Moonglow is more like the Blizzard Pearl White..with a metallic flake aspect...and White...is White.

    +1 on your description of the Moonglow vs. Super White. Moonglow has metallic flakes - more glittery and a little softer. Saw the two colors side by side (a MG C and another Toyota in SW) - the MG is a little creamier or eggshell with glitter.

    YMMV

    I just test drove a Moonglow and without having a Super White next to it to compare, the Moonglow was very cool in that in the sunlight, looking at the car from an angle, the glitter took on a very slight green "moonglow" sparkle. Not at all would you think it was a green car, but it was a shimmery after effect. It's the one I am getting!!!
